Bentley resumes restoration of the first T-Series sedan:
has shifted one of its on-going restoration projects into high gear. Found after spending decades undriven, the first T-Series sedan built is being brought back to life by the British company's apprentices and specialists and it should be back on the road by the end of 2023.
Manufactured on September 28, 1965, about a week before the model's official unveiling at that year's Paris, the oldest T-Series was finished in Shell Gray with a blue interior. Bentley initially kept the car and used it as a test mule around the world. The big sedan later ended up in private hands with a blue California plate and a"Beverly Hills Motor Cars" plate frame attached to its rear end.
Bentley bought the car and shipped it back to its headquarters in England. It started tearing down the sedan in October 2016: A group of apprentices removed the exterior trim and began preparing the body for new paint, but the project stalled. See, this happens even to luxury carmakers — don't feel bad about the Fox-generationlingering in the back of your garage. For collectors, projects tend to get delayed when, for better or worse, life happens.
